i joined way back in '05, but it's only now that i've become interested in expanding my ds' functionality
i have a ds lite, and i want to know:
[*]how do i back up my save file onto my computer? as in, the save file in my ds game card. seeing as they're both physical, tangible objects, i'm guessing i'll have to buy actual hardware to connect them.[*]what is the best flash card to buy? are there many cards, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, or is there a clear, 'superior' card that is far better than all of it's competition? how many ds games can this card store?[*]finally, in pokemon pearl/diamond, i'm able to insert a copy of any gba pokemon game in slot2 to catch extra pokemon. is there a gba flashcart i can buy, copy a gba pokemon game onto it, and take advantage of this pearl/diamond catching feature? seeing as i'll have to use my computer to copy gba games onto the gba flashcart, will i again have to buy extra hardware to connect this gba flashcart to my computer? like the ds flash card, "are there many carts, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, or is there a clear, 'superior' cart that is far better than all of it's competition? how many games can this card store?"
big thanks in advance to anyone who can answer all these questions
